What’s the difference between incontinence pads, pants, pull-ups and adult diapers?
Incontinence products are often grouped together, but they serve different needs.

Incontinence pads
These are inserted into regular underwear and suit light to moderate leakage. They’re discreet, flexible and easy to change.

Incontinence pants
Also known as pull-on pants, these look like normal underwear but have absorbency built in. They’re useful for moderate to heavier leaks and are commonly chosen for independence and dignity. We often recommend incontinence pants for active users who want a secure fit.

Pull-ups and adult diapers
These provide higher absorbency and more coverage. Some have tear-away sides or adjustable tabs. They’re often used for overnight protection or limited mobility.

Bed and furniture protection
Products like incontinence sheets protect mattresses and chairs rather than the person, but they’re often used alongside pads or pants.

Each product type has different disposal considerations, but the core rules remain the same.
